Abstract: A memory includes error correction circuitry that receives a data packet, outputs a correctable error flag indicating presence or absence of a correctable error in the data packet, and outputs an uncorrectable error flag indicating presence or absence of an uncorrectable error in the data packet. A response manager, operating in availability mode, generates output indicating that a correctable error was present if the correctable error flag indicates presence thereof, and generates an output indicating that an uncorrectable error was present if the uncorrectable error flag indicates presence thereof. In a coverage mode, the response manager generates an output indicating that a correctable error was potentially present but should be treated as an uncorrectable error if the correctable error flag indicates presence of the correctable error, and generates an output indicating that an uncorrectable error was present if the uncorrectable error flag indicates presence thereof.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide automatic and intelligent video sorting in the context of creating video compositions. A computing device sorts a media bin of videos in the user's work area based on similarity to the videos included in the video composition being created. When a user selects or includes a particular video on the composition's timeline, the video is compared against the entire video collection to change the display of videos in the media bin. In one example, videos that have similar tags to a selected video are prioritized at the top. Only a subset of frames of each of the videos are used to use to identify video tags. Intelligently selecting tags using a subset of frames from each video rather than using all frames enables more efficient and accurate tagging of videos, which facilitates quicker and more accurate comparison of video similarities.

Abstract: Disclosed are some examples of systems, methods, apparatus and computer program products for scheduling jobs to process log files. In some implementations, a scheduler can be configured to identify a final state of a previously scheduled first job as a failure in execution by one or more processors. For instance, the first job may have been defined to process a first input log file saved to a database during a first timeframe of a sequence of timeframes of a designated interval. The scheduler can detect a second input log file saved to the database. The scheduler can then define a second job to process the first input log file and the second input log file and schedule the second job in association with a second timeframe of the sequence.
